    If the tangent at (1, 1) on \[{{y}^{2}}=x{{(2-x)}^{2}}\] meets the curve again at P, then P is

    A)  (4,4)                           

    B)  (-1,2)           

    C)  (9/4,3/8)        

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[2y\frac{dy}{dx}=x\,\{-2(2-x)\}+{{(2-x)}^{2}}\cdot 1\] \[=(2-x)\,(2-x-2x)\] \[=(2-x)\,(2-3x)\] \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{(1,\,1)}}=\frac{(2-1)\,(2-3)}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Equation of tangent at \[(1,\,1)\] is \[y-1=-\frac{1}{2}\,(x-1)\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[y=1-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\left( \frac{3}{2}-\frac{x}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{y}^{2}}=\frac{{{(3-x)}^{2}}}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x{{(2-x)}^{2}}=\frac{{{(3-x)}^{2}}}{4}\]      \[[\because \,\,{{y}^{2}}=x{{(2-x)}^{2}}]\] After solving, we get \[x=9/4\] \[\therefore \]    \[y=\frac{3}{8}\] So, P is \[\left( \frac{9}{4},\,\frac{3}{8} \right)\]
